Abstract
Chorus is a collective form of musical expression as a form of vocal expression in which the human voice is used to express musical works. It not only refers to those larger and more complete choral works but also includes all vocal singing forms except opera. This makes chorus an easy-to-implement, easy-to-accept, and attractive collective musical activity. A good chorus rehearsal or performance can improve musicians’ musical ability, collective cohesion, and aesthetic ability. Participating in the chorus is both performing and appreciating music. Nowadays, educators in ordinary colleges and universities in various regions of China pay more and more attention to the development of chorus teaching for students’ comprehensive quality.
